    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • General Practice
    • Undergraduate Teaching

    Background:

    • Effective teaching of general practice is crucial for medical students.
    • Previous iterations of the course provided valuable insights for refinement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the further development of a general practice medicine teaching course for fifth-year medical students.
    • To evaluate the impact of course modifications on student learning and knowledge acquisition.

    Main Methods:

    • Implemented a structured eight-afternoon session course based on prescribed objectives and syllabus.
    • Utilized small group teaching with in-depth patient home studies and problem-list preparation for discussion.
    • Assessed learning using modified essay questions and student questionnaires.

    Main Results:

    • Student questionnaires indicated high value placed on patient home visits and problem-list discussions.
    • Objective assessment revealed significant improvement in factual clinical knowledge (P < 0.05).
    • A more significant improvement was observed in general practice-specific content areas (P < 0.001).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed general practice course effectively enhanced medical students' clinical knowledge.
    • The pedagogical approaches, including patient home studies and group discussions, were highly regarded by students.
    • The refined course structure demonstrates a successful model for teaching general practice at the undergraduate level.
